This wiki acknowledges that Stan Lee is technically playing the same character across every movie he appeared in due to comments made behind the scenes, but why does this not extend to his Marvel TV appearances? They each have their own articles separate to the main Watcher Informant one.

Watcher Informant

I've been rewatching a few Marvel Television and Netflix shows and of course I noticed the Stan Lee cameos but when I came on this wiki to check for information on them, they had separate pages including Debonair Gentleman, Man on Bench, Irving Forbush, and Limo Driver. How come the information on those pages isn't included in the main Watcher Informant page?

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Marvel Studios have finalised a deal with Genius Brands and Pow! Entertainment to "resurrect" Stan Lee through digital technology and archive footage for more cameos as the Watcher Informant in the MCU.
Honestly, I think this is really dodgy. Previous instances of this, such as Peter Cushing in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, have been very divisive and if this is done poorly, it could come across as creepy at best and downright disrespectful at worst.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, a group of Watchers are shown listening to The Watcher Informant(Stan Lee). But in What If...? Uatu(The Watcher) is shown watching over the multiverse alone without help. This has a few implications (namely, Uatu has some informants, or it's a plot hole) but my favorite is that the group of watchers are just lazy compared to Uatu because they have an informant instead of watching themselves. This could be because they are afraid of getting attached to the universes (like Uatu did) but them being a group(therefore splitting up the work) and the fact that they have only been shown watching over the prime MCU lends credibility to the idea of them being lazy.

Alright, I know no one can replace Stan Lee's cameos. But I would really like a new recurring cameo, in every movie/show. A great cameo would be Kevin Feige as the watcher informant, the same role as Stan Lee's, who has just changed his appearance.
It would be a nice MCU homage to Stan Lee and continue the character with Feige, increasing the lore.
I understand that no deleted scene is considered canon unless someone in Marval canonize it, however on this page the scene where the Watcher Informant (Stan Lee) talks to Steve Rogers is taken as canon. Can someone explain me why please?

Stan Lee has cameos in both Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD, and there are pictures of him as a cop in the Netflix shows, yet those appearances aren't listed on the informant's wiki. Any reason why we can say it wasn't him in confidence?
